Yep, it's real important to be able to roll back! Does anyone know exactly which .tdb files need to be copied? I suspect some of them should NOT be copied over. I just did an upgrade from 2.2.6 to 2.2.8 and DID copy over: ntdrivers.tdb ntforms.tdb ntprinters.tdb share_info.tdb
did NOT copy: brlock.tdb browse.tdb connections.tdb locking.tdb messages.tdb printing.tdb unexpected.tdb This seemed to work - dunno if it's optimal. PCC -----Original Message----- From: Michael G.

Langhorst Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] How do I upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.2.8 I use the method of creating a complete new install directory. If you are going to install 2.2.8, then use the directory samba.2.2.8 as the base of the install. This way you can install the new version while the old version is still running. When you are ready you can then stop the old version and start the new one. If things go really bad, you can just start the old version back up and work on fixing the new one with minimal impact on the users. Mike On Thu, 2003-03-20 at 08:47, Bradley W.
